    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Nets appeared to be lethargic and disinterested while falling behind by double digits once again, mounted several fruitless comeback attempts and lost to the Rockets, 96-89, at the Meadowlands. They fell to 9-11 overall and 4-8 at home.

    Afterward, <u>Richard Jefferson</u> ripped the team, pointing the finger at himself first but clearly targeting every one of his teammates as well.

    "It's a joke," said Jefferson, who scored 29 points. "The fact that we even have nine wins right now is amazing to me the way we've been playing. It seems we've been down double digits so many games. I don't know what to say."</div></p>

    He's telling the truth, so I don't see it as any kind of diss.</p>

    I don't think he was angry, rather disappointed instead. Either way, it's nice to see him speak out.</p>

    Its good that Jefferson is disappointed and has high standards for playing...I think we'll see the Nets improve a number of games from now. I'd like to see him call everybody out by name, including Frank; that way there'll be a fire underbody.</p>

    yeah ok, dont forget Kidd called this team out worse, saying we were soft and VC wasn't going to help us much and he was right and we still haven't turned the corner yet. I doubt his comments turn this team around, are ppl actually going to start hitting shots now?</p>

    Also</p>

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"(Jefferson) has every right to be (peeved). We all should be upset, because it's been a constant thing," Kidd said. "It's about the only thing we've shown, that we can be down and fight our way back. We're trying to find the answer to that. We're trying to find a lot of other answers. There are a lot of questions out there unanswered."</div></p>

    Apparently, RJ's rant did not inspire himself because he was abysmal tonight.</p>

    And why doesn't RJ rebound anymore? This guy averaged 7, 8 boards last season. Now he's averaging 4. Huh?</p>
